Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Jeep Wrangler JL to Carry Bike Rack?

Expert Reply:

I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98856 since it has a longer receiver tube that is good for gaining clearance in order to carry bike racks on the rear of your 2020 Jeep Wrangler JL. This hitch has a matte black finish that will help disguise scratches more than the glossy finish that is found on other hitches designed for the JL and JL Unlimited.

If you don't already have a bike rack, I love the Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # NV22G because of how easy it makes loading/unloading bikes as well as the included hitch and bike locks. This platform-style rack holds bikes by the wheels with ratcheting hooks and sliding cradles - so there is no frame contact, which is great if you want to avoid scratching up the frame. This rack also has a 60-lb per bike capacity for a total of 120-lbs, so you'll never have to worry about bikes being too heavy. If you want to carry more than 2 bikes in the future, you can add the 2-Bike expansion accessory # NA22G to allow you to carry 4 bikes.
